Each church has certain zones where they place candles for the living, and zones where they place candles for the dead. If this is your first time in a new church, you can turn to this question to regular parishioners, but not during the service. Do not distract the worshipers. When praying for those who are still in our sinful world, special requests are read that are different from requests for the departed. Prayer to help the living is an effective help to those who are supported, especially when the petitioner is in the right mood.
So different prayers
To turn to God for help while still living in the sublunary world, they usually recite brief prayers in the morning rule or special prayers larger at the end of the morning. These latter are generally optional. But if you need to especially (strictly) pray for loved ones, do not be afraid of the length of the prayer - read it carefully.
There is one among the petitions, sometimes erroneously called “living prayer in the help of the Almighty”. This prayer is one of the most effective ways to fight demons, along with prayer to the Honest Cross. The real name of this appeal to God is “Alive in the help of the Highest.” It is also called the 90th psalm. It is quite long, but you can learn it if necessary. The psalm says that the Lord is the protector of the prayer, on whom he hopes. God can save a person from nets and evil words. Prayer says that God protects the believer, protecting him from evil and demonic influences, as well as protecting the body of a Christian who has trusted himself in the Lord.
A brief prayer to help the living calls all benefactors and relatives not benefactors. This sometimes confuses believers. In fact, everyone we pray for serves us indirectly as a benefactor, because God sees and rewards our love and prayer effort. But you should not be limited only to friends - Christ bequeathed to us to ask for enemies as well. The practice of many believers shows that this helps to reconcile the warring. It’s especially good to pray with the prayer to kiss the cross for those who are at enmity with you, imagining that this veneration of God should be credited to them. A Christian should try to live in peace with everyone and create peace between other people. A prayer for help read for another will not go unanswered and rewarded. And peacekeepers will surely “be called the sons of God” in the Kingdom of the Lord, created on the site of the destroyed Earth.
The second, longer prayer to help the living is sometimes placed in the “Memorial” section of the prayer book. In it, the Christian prays both for his Church and for the country, its army and people. He asks for everyone who is in a difficult situation - orphans, prisoners, prisoners, suffering for truth and faith. Praying for the monks. Asks even for heretics and apostates in the hope of God's forgiveness for them. The prayer looks long, but takes 2-3 minutes.
The power of mother's prayer
The prayer to help the living, uttered by the mother, is especially strong. It can help a person in a very difficult, even fatal position. Although there are special prayers for mothers. However, in extreme situations, you can read any prayer that you know by heart. Just "Lord, have mercy!" At a dangerous moment saved many. The one you are contacting will definitely hear and help.
